Hi all - we signed up to the UK Gov 'Homes for Ukraine Scheme', and have matched with a mother and her 4-year-old son. Forms submitted, and we are 99% sure that it will happen, perhaps in ~3 weeks from now. We live on Avondale Rise just off Bellenden Rd. We are keen to know others who are bringing in Ukrainian guests, especially those with kids.


- Might be helpful to share experiences in getting things set up, and discussing interactions with Southwark council. Visas / travel / home inspections / helping to find employment / joining schools etc.

- And once our guests arrive, I think they may like to meet people who have been through a similar experience.


Are there others in the area who are hosting? If you pm me with phone number - I can setup a WhatsApp group

Hi Joel/Elsa,

We have a 19 year old girl who is living with us. She is settling in very well and has just got a job in a nursury which is great. My concern is that she is quite lonely and she would like to meet other ukranians and make some friends. Do you know if there is a group for people looking to meet each other in London? Thanks! Claudia

There's a been a social night for Ukrainians being hosted by the White Eagle Polish Club in Tooting - would be worth following the clubs Facebook profile.


Also, they have a "boutique" to outfit newly-arrived people with clothes etc.

Hi Claudia. Yes, there are a few things going on nearby, as well as across London. Send me a private message with your phone number and I can add you to a WhatsApp group with 4-5 others in Peckham / Dulwich who are hosting. Our guests are a 40yo and 4yo, so probably not what your 19yo is looking for, but I think two others in the WhatsApp group have guests who are a similar age to your guest.

I have been told that the Dulwich Foundation Schools are organising Ukrainian coffee mornings in Dulwich on a weekly basis. Sign up below. Obviously attendees don't need to have an existing connection with Dulwich or the schools! Link below

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
